This happens to all who do the lens swap for the turn signal. I have found that it is not heat from the halos or hid bulb, it's actually from the sunlight. Just like a kid with a magnifying glass burning ants, the sun reflects the light through the lens on to the plastic causing it to burn holes. For yours to have burned it that bad it must have been left outside a long time. Only fixes I have found are to use a 60mm halo with a diffuser cover and mount the lens further back so the sun doesn't hit it as much.
